Skipper · Inventory
Keep track of your stuff
Photograph the item. Catalog it. Assign it to a storage location. Photograph the location too — so the list looks like the boat, not a spreadsheet from 2003.
Nested locations, all the way down
The system allows multiple levels of nesting. A ditty bag of spare shackles can live in a larger parts bin, in the lazarette, under the cockpit sole — and you can still find it when the next season starts.
Cockpit sole → Lazarette → Port bin → Spare shackles (photo)
Location photos matter. The storage location itself can be photographed and appears as the “face” of that place on the list — the locker door, the labeled bin, the bulkhead plaque. You recognize the stow the way you recognize a daymark.
| Aboard the boat | In IntrepidMarine |
|---|
| Ship / vessel | Skipper → Vessel profile |
| Deck or cabin | Top-level location |
| Locker or bilge bay | Nested location |
| Parts bin / ditty bag | Deeper nest |
| Spare impeller in hand | Inventory item + photo + path |
Why it earns its keep
- Yard day — export inventory PDF instead of a clipboard tour.
- Insurance day — photos and values sit with the item, not in a shoebox.
- Crew day — new hands learn where the thruhull plugs live without a scavenger hunt.
Core inventory is free. Catalog the boat before you ever need Premium maintenance tools.
WX Radar
Weather & NAV maps
One map. Two jobs. Storm motion when you need it — chart context when you need that instead.
Weather mode
NEXRAD radar is shown over the basemap and animates through about 30 minutes of history so you can see whether a cell is filling, fading, or sliding past your route.
- Play / pause the loop
- Warning labels (as configured)
- Best for pre-departure and dock watches
USN mode
Tap USN to bring NOAA-oriented chart layers (depth, aids in U.S. waters) and freeze the radar animation. You keep a static radar underlay for reference — the chart picture stays steady.
- Default when you want NAV context
- Radar loop stops (by design)
- Not a substitute for the plotter

Default USN behavior: charts on, radar animation off. Switch back to Weather when you want the loop again. Your preferred map emphasis can live in Settings.
Marine Conditions — local current conditions
Marine Conditions is the named modal panel for a quick on-water snapshot without leaving the map.
Tap the waves control on the WX Radar toolbar to open it; tap waves again or the dimmed area to dismiss.
The same panel appears when you write a Captain’s Log entry.
- Air temp, sky, wind
- Seas / swell
- Moon phase
- Nearest NOAA tide station, high/low tides, tide curve
- Short forecast brief
Resolved for your device GPS when available (coastal default when inland). Network required while the snapshot loads.
The range ring — 32 nautical miles
When the map centers on your default radar region (or My GPS) and draws the range ring around that origin, the primary ring is:
32 nautical miles
Roughly 37 statute miles — a practical “what’s around this bay or approach?” framing. You can still pinch to zoom; 32 NM is the default scope when the app centers or resets the map.
USN layers and free bathymetry supplement approved charts and your chartplotter. Not for primary navigation.
